Looks like Jack Frost was busy with his artistry and Greta Jones was up with the birds to catch the sun making its rise, peaking in. Windows such as this here in the U.P. are a sure sign that it's cold outside and warm inside. It's something you don't see so often in homes now-a-days, since double pane windows have come to be more common, insulating us from that frigid winter air. Warmer is a good thing, but look at the beauty we miss because of it. That sunshine peaking through the frosty window makes it resemble a fancy, etched, crystal glass!

Beautiful, natural Art ... I recall many mornings the windows in the house that I grew up in had very similiar etchings. The house was built in appx. 1883 and luckily, the house is still standing. My niece and her husband now own it and are renovating. Thanks for another wonderful AM picture.

Oooooooooh, pretty. I remember single pane windows...and how a frosty window, would become a canvas for our 'artwork'... by 'carving' through the frost on the window with our fingernails.
Tim, that's neat that your family home has been in the family for generations :)

WHOA! The pictures are beautiful! Thank you!

What beautiful pictures! It does look like etched glass...sort of like ferns or even palm fronds.

VERY pretty pics!

Wow, that is great.

this beats the heck out of a Mandelbrot pattern, just too beautiful.

These pictures are really beautiful. The sun helps define the beauty.


By dlp (Babyseal) on Wednesday, January 18, 2006 - 12:54 pm:

WOW!! Those pictures are truly "kodak moments" if you remember those days.


By eugenia r. thompson (Ert) on Wednesday, January 18, 2006 - 01:10 pm:

This is so amazing. I'd forgotten how beautiful these patterns could be. The top one almost looks like etched metal.


By Alex J. Tiensivu (Ajtiensivu) on Wednesday, January 18, 2006 - 01:34 pm:

Absolutely unbelievable... I really appreciated these pix. Amazing, at least!

Didn't we see these pictures on pasty before?

Editor's note: Maybe you were checking out Greta's Guest Gallery and you remember them from there? :->


By happyooper (Trigal) on Wednesday, January 18, 2006 - 03:12 pm:

Are you sure those aren't embroidered curtains you have hanging, Greta? ;) They are absolutely gorgeous.


By Therese (Therese) on Wednesday, January 18, 2006 - 04:17 pm:

Wow -- that's sunshine behind the frost. THAT is something unusual too!


By Gary W. Long (Gary_in_co) on Wednesday, January 18, 2006 - 04:40 pm:

I'm sure it has something to do with the angle of the Hydrogen atoms and Oxygen atoms in the water molecules as they crystalize, but I'd have to say I'm leaning toward the intelligent design argument on this one. Regardless of your own personal philosophy, there is certainly much beauty to be admired here.


By Deb S. (Usedtobeayooper) on Wednesday, January 18, 2006 - 06:31 pm:

Absolutely gorgeous! I remember it well but don't miss it in the least. It's nice to be reminded of days gone by though.


By Rose Fields (Rosemothernatur) on Wednesday, January 18, 2006 - 09:19 pm:

Thanks for bringing back memories, Greta! I too remember the days of the single pane windows and the beautiful pictures Jack Frost painted for us when we were children! I would like an enlargement of one of those photos to hang on the wall! Beautiful!

I'm the last to say "Good Night" Sweet dreams Michigan.


By Deb S. (Usedtobeayooper) on Thursday, January 19, 2006 - 07:03 am:

Mornin' U.P. How's everything up there? It's nice here in central MN. We're supposed to have March-like temps by the weekend. What a winter. The year 2005 was the warmest on record since the 1980's. Wonderful!


By Alison P (Ricelakealison) on Thursday, January 19, 2006 - 09:48 am:

I'm with you Gary!
